Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Children's Prattle, sentence 9

I am a child of the court," she said; now she might just as well have been a child of the cellar, for no one can help his birth; and then she told the other children that she was well-born, and said that no one who was not well-born could rise in the world.

Who acts: I, girl, one · What happens: be, say, help, tell, bear, not bear · To what, where: child, birth, other children, girl, one, world · Speech: someone speaks here
